To this end, a web application was developed using a user-centered design approach involving professionals experienced in training people with autism, to help end users learn the basic concepts of music. The app allows teachers or caregivers to set up a customized learning environment according to each student's needs, so that these students can play songs in collaboration with classmates. Preliminary results suggest a key role for technology in facilitating music teaching and in supporting the learning process for students with autism.
